Amaranthus also known as amaranth, tassel flower, velvet flower or foxtail amaranth is a fantastic versatile bloom which can be used in everything from cascading bouquets and centrepieces to breathtaking tassels in ceremony arches and installations due to its pretty pink trailing ends. I fell deeply in love with this rich-toned plant (which also comes in green) when doing some arrangements for our engagement party a while back so was inspired to create a full, pretty pink, Amaranthus Inspired Wedding Palette around it.

How to Create Your Own Amaranthus Inspired Wedding Palette...

• Stationery: Pick a pretty stationery suite which ties in with your other colours and don't be afraid to mix it up with other materials like we have using geode and gems in the same tones as the Amaranthus as stationery options.
• Flowers: Keep Amaranthus as the main focal bloom and pair with other dramatic flowers such as peonies, dahlias and ranunculus in shades of pink, purple and cream.
• Decor and Cake: Again,  Amaranthus is a fantastic versatile bloom to decorate your ceremony and reception with. Use in ceremony arches, large centrepieces on your tables and  just work in other flowers in the colour scheme along the way. Add epic Amaranthus trails to a simple white cake for a dramatic look.
